7. The Beginning
The year is 2006. Marvel has released some good (and bad) X-Men and Spider-Man movies over the past few years but things have slowed down. Enter Kevin Feige, a producer on those movies, who has an idea. What if a bunch of movies were made, like Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk (scheduled for two years later), that linked together? Hypothetically, you could do The Avengers? It didn’t happen in Hall H, and not that many people were in the audience, but Feige’s first tease of a notion that would change Hollywood forever has become mythic.
